Hope he's doing better.
Clean his eyes with saline that you purchase at the store or you can make your own as suggested.
Wipe all the pus from his eyes. If you have Terramycin eye ointment, put some of that in the eye, if not, you can use Original Neosporin. Clean both eyes at least once daily and apply your ointment.
Move the feathers around on his head and see how bad the wound(s) on his head are. Clean them with saline, apply triple antibiotic ointment to the wounds.
Quail can be quite anxious and wiggly. If you take a hand towel and swaddle him in the towel to help capture his wings and feet when you work on his eye and wounds, he will be a little calmer. I had one that got pecked hard in the eye (Quail are not nice to each other!), he would calm down pretty well, once swaddled so I could treat his eye.
Is he eating o.k.? What do you feed him? He may like his normal feed and bits of scrambled egg.
Hopefully you can get rid of the rat. Rats will kill your Quail, small chicks and juvenile chickens. It can be a battle once you have critters, but I think you can win this!
